About this property
Riverside location
Ground-floor maisonette
Living room with river views
Two bedrooms
Bathroom and shower room
Garden and off-road parking
Outstanding ground floor apartment located in the heart of the historic Suffolk village of Stratford St. Mary, in the heart of the Dedham Vale National Landscape. Accommodation comprises open plan living/kitchen/dining area, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property also benefits from a garden - with river views - and off-road parking.
This well-presented, ground floor apartment is beautifully located on the bank of the river Stour - depicted in John Constable's 1820 painting - 'Stratford Mill' – which is now part of the Constable collection at the National Gallery.
A solid wood entrance door leads to accommodation comprising a living room which enjoys riverside views, kitchen, two bedrooms, shower room and family bathroom.
The interior of this charming apartment benefits from light, bright, spacious rooms, none more so than the elegant living room, which has French doors which open onto the garden and frame the peaceful river views. Bespoke Sanderson shutters create privacy and - with the gas fire lit - a cosier atmosphere during the evening.
The kitchen is presented in ivory, shaker style and offers plenty of space for food preparation. The open layout between the living area and the kitchen provides space for dining and ease of entertaining.
Two double bedrooms, again with Sanderson shutters, a shower room and bathroom complete the accommodation.
To the rear of the property, the garden commences with a patio, is mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders. The exceptional aspect of this garden is the extraordinary river views - with countryside and large Suffolk skies stretching beyond.
